Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Whittemore, IA.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Whittemore to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
